Our hot dipped galvanized 12" steel truss frames are available in widths of 3' and 4' and lengths from 4' to 20'. These standard frames are constructed to allow for side-to-side or end-to-end assembly. Click here for prices.

Steel Truss Frames

GALVANIZED STEEL FRAMES
Our heavy duty galvanized steel truss frames are constructed to be bolted together, side to side or end to end, to form the desired configuration needed for your dock design. These frames work well in a variety of applications and we are happy to provide you with a CAD layout designed to meet your specific needs. In any design proper frame layout is important due to a wide variety of materials now available for decking. We must consider dock usage and loading, and provide the proper flotation requirements.

The basic frame design is built strong enough to support concrete decking and we also offer special frames to support the new composite deck materials available such as Weyerhaeuser ChoiceDek7 or TREX7 Easy Care Decking.

Typical hot-dip galvanized 12" box truss steel frames are welded trusses utilizing all angle iron construction. Our frames are mig welded in a frame jig to ensure the precise tolerances are kept. Minimum angle size at the bolted connections are 3" x 3" x 1/4", with main rails not less than 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 3/16". Truss diagonals and cross bracing are not less than 1" x 1" x 1/8" angle. Round rods are also utilized as an option to angle in truss frame construction. All frames to be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication.

STEEL TRUSS DOCK COMPONENTS
TREADPLATE ASSEMBLY
A treadplate assembly can be added to the shore end of any bridge for safer and easier access to the dock.
I-BEAM BRIDGE FLOATER
For sites where two bridges are required for access to the lake. Available for 4' and 6' wide bridges.
BRIDGE FLOATER
A bridge floater can be added to any handrailed bridge where additional flotation might be needed.
UNDERSLUNG BRIDGES
We offer bridges to provide safe dependable access to our docks. The bridges are constructed of all angle iron that is hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. Optional galvanized handrail assemblies can be bolted onto the bridges. Bridges are designed to hinge on the dock end, and the shore end has skid pipes and can be fitted with an axle and wheel assembly as required.
BRIDGE ACCESSORIES
We have bridge components to customize bridges to suit individual site requirements. Bridge floaters and bolt-on treadplate assemblies are available for use with our bridges.
BOLT-ON HANDRAILING
Bolt-on handrails measure 42" above decking. Freight savings is achieved by bolting handrailing to bridge after delivery.
BRIDGE TO DOCK HINGE ASSEMBLY
Bridges can attach to the dock with a 3/4" diameter hinge pin through 1/4" angle iron.
BOLTED CONNECTION
Steel frames bolt together with 5/8" diameter hardware bolting through 1/4" angle iron.
STANDARD WHEEL ASSEMBLY
The standard wheel assembly consists of an 8" diameter wheel with a 3/4" axle. All-terrain wheel assemblies are available.
HANDRAIL BRIDGES
We offer bridges to provide safe dependable access to our docks. The bridges are fabricated in 4' and 6' widths. Bridges are designed to hinge on the dock end; the shore end has skid pipes and can be fitted with an axle and wheel assembly as required.
STANDARD BRIDGE END
Our standard bridge is set up with the shore end having skid pipes and a 7/8" diameter hole for a 3/4" axle.
5TH WHEEL CONNECTION
5th wheel connections are available in 4' and 6' widths.
